Programs

At Up+Go, we create learning experiences that meet girls and women where they are and help them grow. Whether someone is in high school, mid-degree, or just starting their career, our programs offer the mentorship, tools, and confidence they need to take their next step in tech, entrepreneurship, or leadership.

Each Program is delivered over 8-10 weeks and includes a blend of self-paced learning, live sessions, and mentorship. These are not cookie-cutter workshops; they’re career-connected journeys that center real people, real skills, and real possibility.
